Identification and differential expression analysis of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in leaf color variants of ornamental kale.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anthocyanins perform diverse biological functions in plants and are beneficial to human health. Leaf color is the most important trait of ornamental kale and the characteristics of changes in leaf color make it an ideal material to elucidate genetic mechanisms of anthocyanins accumulation in Brassica oleracea. To elucidate the anthocyanin distribution, metabolic profiles and differentially expressed anthocyanin biosynthetic genes between different colored accessions can pave the way for understanding the genetic regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation in ornamental kale.

Results

In this study, anthocyanin distributions in red- and white-leaved ornamental kale accessions were determined. Thirty-four anthocyanins were detected in the red-l
